Once seen as an isolationist country, Japan has taken an almost 180 degree turn and has become one of the biggest trading countries in the world. Two industries have transformed Japan, first the automobile industry with Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and others. The other industry is the technology industry. And while the Japanese electronics industry is facing immense competition from Chinese and Korean manufactures like Huawei and Samsung, Japan is still making great electronics. Here is some more detail about technology companies in Japan.

Sony-

And still today, Sony is one of the most popular electronic companies from Japan as it makes many consumer electronics including TV’s, headphones, smartphones, and the most popular game console in the world, the Sony Playstation, now on its 4th generation. While Sony makes most of its money from banking today, they still continue to produce some of the best electronic components in the world.

While Japan isn’t as dominant as it was in the 1980s and 1990s, the country still enjoys massive success with eye popping TV’s and entertaining game consoles. So if you use any technology at all, there is likely that it is made in Japan or has components made in Japan as Japan still remains a powerful electronic producer in the increasingly technological world.

We thought we would start off by providing a bit of history on the products that Japan as a country produces, and a little bit about Japan in its entirety. Japan is the world’s number one manufacturer of automobiles in the entire world. The country is also known to have diplomatic relations with almost all independent nations, and was ranked 27out of 189 countries in regards to the ease associated with doing business. Another fun fact about business relations on Japan is that 98% of all adoptions that take place in this country involve adult males? Why? The Japanese strongly believe keeping their business solely in their families hands and males are the ones to take over and run things.
